Live Review: TOP FIVES: Royal Playlist

Need some tunes to get you through the queens jubilee? Look no further than our Royal Playlist

In the spirit of this week's queens jubilee, we here at Purple Sneakers have composed a royally themed TOP FIVE. Just imagine her royal highness bumping and jiving her jubilee away (while Will and Kate continue their public snog-fest) to the likes to PRINCE AND BB KING...

Her majesty may not be the biggest fan of red-heads (ahem FERGIE), but she’d have to make an exception for JOSH HOMME. Here's QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE with 'The Lost Art of Keeping A Secret'

MARMADUKE DUKE: A little known groover from some one-hit wonders, but even Lizzy could get down with RUBBER LOVER.

PRINCE-Harry and his Nazi halloween costume, Fergie and her extra-marital affairs. The Royals are never too far away from a bit of CONTROVERSY

PHAROAHE MON(ar)CH. Ok, I’m taking liberties with this one, but can you imagine the queen doing as SIMON SAYS and rubbing on her saggy pair of milkers? Yikes!

B.B. KING: Probably better loved than the queen herself, here's 'The Thrill is Gone'
